Husband of Elizabeth McCracken
愛德華‧凱瑞
1970年出生於英國,寫過許多改編劇本,包括徐四金的《鴿子》與羅伯特‧庫佛的《皮諾丘在威尼斯》。此外,他也自創劇本,為人畫插畫,如今又多一個身分:小說家。
《望樓館追想》是愛德華‧凱瑞的首部小說,他以其獨特的想像力與詼諧筆法帶出一個怪異有趣的世界,獲得世界各地讀者的廣大迴響,連符傲思也稱讚他「證明了小說形式的無限可能」。
Once the Orme family's magnificent ancestral estate, Observatory Mansions is now a crumbling apartment complex, home to an eccentric group of misfits. One of them is Francis Orme, who earns his livelihood as a living statue. When not practicing "inner and outer stillness," Francis steals the cherished possessions of others to add to his private museum. The other tenants are equally as odd: his mother and father, who haven't interacted in years; a man who continually sweats and cries; a recluse who prefers television to reality; and a woman who behaves like a dog. When Anna Tapp arrives among them she stirs their souls, bringing long forgotten memories to the surface-and arousing fears that this new resident intends to provoke a metamorphosis. Reminiscent of Beckett, Ionesco, and Millhauser but startlingly original, Observatory Mansions is also unexpectedly beguiling. Upon its publication in England, it was a literary sensation, and John Fowles called it "easily the most brilliant fiction I've seen this year."
